Abstract

We have often in preceding chapters stressed the complementarity of domain analysis with the sort of comprehensive classification advocated in this book. A classification such as we have proposed will work for scholars from different domains only if the terminology of those domains has been accurately translated into the terminology employed within the comprehensive classification.

Notes

  1. 1.

    We focus on those types of domain analysis with the greatest implications for classification. We do not, for example, discuss network analysis here because the purpose of network analysis is to identify the connections among researchers.
